Michael’s greatest  pleasure were his family fishing and food.  HIs penchant for relaxing on a boat with a fishing p ole in one hand and a Bud Light in the other spoke to his laid-back spirit and restful pursuits.  His greatest achievement was being a loving husband and supportive father to his family.  His fatherly advice in his “man-cave” will always be cherished.
